YASNY

Excellent post, santo=dorf.

If we can put Gallaraga in the Sox line up next to Bonds, I'm all for it. Not really. It's time Bonds was booted from baseball.

He fired LaRussa. :headshake

Nomar: Best fit. Short term and Cheaper than ..... Renteria: Great glove, decent ballplayer. Probably too expensive for the production he'd supply. Cabrera: Ranks below Polanco as a fit for the Sox. Wright: A better gamble than Lowe, Loaiza ( :puke ) or Vazquez (but it depends on how much $$$ the Yankees pick up)

With all due respect, Robbie Alomar hasn't done s*** for 3 years.

f*** no!

As I've said before ..... f*** France.

Son, erectile dysfunction is a medical condition that affects men. What's so difficult about that. As the kids get older, you can get more specific.

Jealous, aren't ya?

Frank has always expressed a pro testing stance.

I said that wrong. What it should have read was "Robbie can't hit lefty."

I'd rather have a youngster like Valdez than an aging shell of what used to be Robbie Alomar.

Robbie Alomar cannot hit lefties.

Giambi is getting raked over the coals by the NY papers this morning. No mercy! Headlines like "Get Rid Of Him!" and "Liar Played All Of Us For Fools"

I can take it or leave it.

It was, however, illegal in the United States.

Sometimes what's "reported" is not necessarily accurate. Even if it was, he could always change his mind. That's why I put little faith in "Steve Finley only will play for west coast teams" type statements .... or the type that say a player only wants to play in the NL. Etc. Etc.

That's pretty good considering the Big Ten schools have the advantage of recruiting kids to a Big Ten school.

It was a joke. This is only a message board and the awards given out will not be part of any player's HOF credentials.

Eh ... just consider the source. :rolly

There is a perfect example of the type of response I was talking about that totally alienates other posters. Qwerty made a damn good point (If you feel OBP for a leadoff hitter is not a good point, you have other issues) and you responded with a condescending smart ass remark that added nothing whatsoever to the discussion.

What it is going to take to change things is players like Frank Thomas, who has always been anti-steroid and who's accomplishments a being comparatively belittled, to organize a group of influential players that will go to the union officials and force their hand to agree to a policy that has some teeth.

Leiter is a 5 inning pitcher now. No thanks.

I think Crede will be given every chance in the world to prove himself. I highly doubt the Sox even look at a starter type 3B.

I have got to find a way to get on the Mets.
